Well, I would if I could. In the meantime, I just would be happy to march in with the Super Bowl XLIV Champs … the New Orleans Saints. Sweet Breesus, I love the sound of that.
We are traveling in the footsteps
Of those who’ve gone before
But we’ll all be reunited (but if we stand reunited)
On a new and sunlit shore (then a new world is in store)
Peyton Manning, after living a full life, died and went to heaven. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Colts flag in the window. “This house is yours for eternity, Peyton,” said God. “This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here.”
Peyton felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house.
On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3-story mansion with a black and gold sidewalk, a 50-foot tall flagpole with an enormous Saints logo flag, and in every window, a New Orleans Saints towel.
Peyton looked at God and said, “God, I’m not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question.
I was an all-pro QB, I hold many NFL records, and I even went to the Hall of Fame.”
God said, “So, what’s your point Peyton?”
“Well, why does Drew Brees get a better house than me?”
God chuckled and said, “Peyton, that’s not Drew’s house, it’s mine.”
1. I pledge allegiance to The Saints, and to the great city of New Orleans; and to The Super Bowl, for which we will win; One city, below sea level, under God; with Mardi Gras & alcohol for all!
2. Notice to my boss: If the Saints win, I’m not coming in on Monday.
I was born a poor black child. I remember the days, sittin’ on the porch with my family, singin’ and dancin’ down in Mississippi.
What?
I might as well have been because I love me some soul food.
Boog and I went to Las Vegas’ own M & M Soul Food Cafe for a late lunch today. Let’s just say that they “satisfied my appetite … while soothing my soul.”
Looka for yourself.

Mac & cheese, BEP, and yams

Smothered pork chop
Oh, yes, we did eat it all … along with some cornbread pancakes and sweet tea. We did not manage to get the desserts down until much later at home. Yes, of course, we had sweet potato pie and peach cobbler.
Now, someone hand me the antacid because I have some wicked heartburn.
Some of us have been Who Dats long enough to remember this great song and to believe. Oh, yes, I believe. I have believed for a long time. Why? Because “we’ve been down too long, too many years. We must resume the fight, continue to persevere…”
